Elevated this to critical because the thumbnailer service is permanently toast if someone actually does add a GIF image that blows the memory limits imposed by the OOM watchdog.

If that happens in the field, it's good-bye thumbnailer service whenever any app or scope asks for a thumbnail for the offending file. The bug will be rare but, when it strikes, it's absolutely fatal.
